Eco-volunteering projects

Eco-volunteering projects suggested by SVI are not to be confused with eco-tourism. This is not green tourism but foremost international volunteering projects focusing on environmental protection. All of our projects are designed by local associations and managed by local volunteers.

Thanks to the help of local volunteers, volunteers help carry out programs of research, education, conservation or protection of biodiversity and natural heritage.

Eco-volunteers are people who do not have any special skills, who are motivated and involved in environmental issues. Even though it is not necessary to have any scientific training courses, you must be willing to learn, to participate in very physical work and to be really interested in this type of volunteering.

The projects that are implemented by our partners are very diverse: protecting sea turtles in Mexico, cleaning a river in southern France, raising awareness among tourists in Halong Bay in Vietnam, drafting horse project in Japan, promoting and maintaining bike paths in Iceland, clearing a nature reserve in Czechia, lending a hand to employees of a nature reserve in Kenya, protecting wild animals in Brazil, creating an organic garden in Italy, building straw houses in Belgium, working on an organic farm in Norway, ...

Eco-volunteer projects are open to all volunteers. Before they register, they must be aware that living conditions on site are often quite rudimentary on this type of project (camping or collective housing).

The list of eco-volunteering projects is available via our search engine. They are classified under the type of work "ZOOL" (animals), "AGRI (Agriculture) or" envy "(nature). Click here to access our search engine: http://evet.servicevolontaire.org
